Indicators of economic globalisation
Monitoring the globalisation of the EU economy
The globalisation of the world economy creates new needs for statistics. Therefore, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, publishes today a set of economic globalisation indicators1. These identify five aspects of economic globalisation: international trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), employment and value added of multinational enterprises as well as internationalisation of technology. All in all, twelve indicators2 are included in this framework, of which four are shown in this News Release.
One of the seven flagship initiatives of the Europe 2020 strategy3 is to have an “industrial policy for the globalisation era”, which means to support the development of a strong and sustainable industrial base to compete globally. Reliable indicators of economic globalisation and its impact on the EU economy are essential for the effective implementation of this policy.
Increase of EU international trade in goods and services in percentage of GDP
An indicator of economic globalisation is the share of trade in goods and services in percentage of GDP. In the EU, this share increased between 2004 and 2013, except for a fall in connection with the financial crisis in 2009. In 2013, EU imports were equivalent to 42% of GDP and exports to 45%.
